Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

There are some really fortunate pets on this forum!!

Question about 2 part dosing:

I did that today for the first time. My calc is low, my alk is not. I’m assuming I don’t want to try to do anything stupid like dose more calc and less alk? Any tips or anything I should know/watch for?

I dosed the exact same amount of both solutions, the same 4ml that I have been dosing for DKH alone every day.

I don’t know anything about dosing the two but everything I’ve seen says not to do this.


I would test tomorrow, and maybe a third day, to see if the calc is being drained at a repeatable faster rate. Until then, probably best to stick to two part to ensure things really don’t get out of whack.

Ran a full late night test on the frag tank. The only thing that was off were nitrates.

It looks like my phosphates are starting to hold up really well.

I dosed a rather strong 2ppm slug, whatever.

Can low nitrates cause corals to tense up?

I’m really excited for the new fish poop coming soon. I might even be able to run my fuge

How low is too low? I wouldn’t think that would be an issue, but the Dino’s that come with zero nutrients certainly could be!

And I agree with you about the dosing, I’m going to follow the directions! Now ask me how embarrassingly low my Ca is

The kid obviously looks like Kylo Ren.

That was on the couch. Loki does the same thing as your puppies. He takes my spot on on the bed. When I go to move him he protests with husky sounds. He is thr most people like dog I've ever had. He is also the most cat like dog I've ever had.

At least Cassie does sleep in her own bed - but has to have her own pillow for her head. Not spoiled at all.

Looks like he's almost big enough to pick out coral frags

The trachy survived the night. I was worried for a minute when I couldn't find my pederson. There it was waving me in for a cleaning.

I don’t think low is bad either, as long as it’s present. Nitrates were about .5. This wilsoni is the first large coral I’ve cared for and seems to be sucking a lot of nitrate up (I’ve heard from others).

The Duncan is slightly more open this morning so maybe that had something to do with it.

How low is yiurca?

I'm not allowed to have a dog. I did have Great Danes. I would love to have another.

Pipe fish , how do you feed him?

The pederson is completely enamored with it.

She eats pods obviously, but she eats frozen and even finely crushed pellets.
